"It's time for the second phase of the offensive... The first strike has already done many damages. The first 43 bands announced gathered our first 2,000 troopers in only a week and we were able to penetrate the enemy lines in a flash. This success convinced a powerful new ally, BLACK SABBATH, to join our cause. Today, no less than 49 new bands will join the Hellfest Army to conquer this new territory where the Metal nation will set camp for many years ahead:"
